The ARP Odyssey from Korg
is the re-creation of the classic analog synthesizer originally
produced in the 1970s and highly regarded for its sharp penetrating
sound and rich range of tonal variations. This re-creation is 86% of the
original size and features the original circuitry with some updated
features including MIDI and USB.

The synth offers a 37-note
slim-key keyboard with monophonic or duophonic operation. The oscillator
section includes two VCOs with sawtooth, square, and pulse waveforms.
Additionally, all three revisions of the filter are immediately
accessible via switch and further broaden the tonal palette. Type I
(rev. 1) is a 12 dB/Oct circuit, while Type II and III (Rev. 2 & 3)
are 24 dB/Oct, and each type adds distinct flavors and colors to the
sound. Both of the portamento circuits (Rev.1 & 2/3) are available
as well, while a drive circuit has been added to the VCA, producing
distortion and generating a rough and raw sound. All of the sliders have
been updated and are smoother than the original, making the synth
uncompromisingly playable.

A variety of functions and modulation
possibilities are provided by oscillator sync, pulse width modulation,
sample & hold, a high-pass filter, two types of envelope generators,
an LFO, and pitch bend via the proportional pitch controls (PPC). The
ARP Odyssey ships with a power adapter, a 1/4" cable, a 1/8" cable, and
an impact-resistant case.
